BEHIND THE SCENES: VIPER PILOTING!

One of the ever-impressive, larger Viper models is put through its filming paces by an effects technician (presumably from the Universal Heartland facility), possibly for the filming of extra effects shots needed for the exciting opening to The Young Lords.

CLASSIC IMAGE: CRISIS MANAGEMENT!

Things are getting hotter and more dangerous for the small but efficiently deadly Galactica ground force penetrating and sabotaging the Cylon defences of their city on Gamoray. Unfortunately, experienced combat veteran Bojay has taken a blaster hit and must now be group escorted to the safety of a soon arriving Colonial shuttle, in this scene from The Living Legend, Part Two.

CLASSIC IMAGE: COURT DEFENDER!

Time is running out for our heroes in their trial defence of a heated Starbuck aboard the Galactica, the murder charge set-up against the Viper pilot being pursued by a determined Apollo, whilst the equally loyal comrade in combat, Lt. Boomer, stalls for time, in a classic moment from the always-enjoyable Murder on the Rising Star.

EXPLORING THE CYLON TANKER - CLOSE-UP!

The vessel discovered by our Colonial Warrior heroes that was the precursor to the final war that destroyed the Twelve Colonies of Man: the ominous Cylon Tanker, as seen in the original pilot episode, and shown here in all its model built glory, originally designed by Joe Johnston, when sold at prop auction a few years back.

CLASSIC IMAGE: AN ENEMY DELIVERED...

He thinks he's come to the Colonial Fleet of his own free will, hoping to join forces with them against a mysterious and powerful new threat, but Count Baltar hasn't reckoned on the enigma that is the suave Count Iblis, and his plans to incarcerate the hated human traitor, during the memorable start to Part Two of War of the Gods.

BEHIND THE SCENES: MASSED FOR ATTACK!

The ominous Cylon Raiders continue onwards in deep space, ready to attack their Human prey in this interesting unused Apogee shot for Saga of a Star World , an effect achieved either via the same Raider being optically printed into hordes, or perhaps as a series of cut-out images photographed on one plate.

BEHIND THE SCENES: MUFFEY'S PROGRESS!

Not quite the screen realisation of Muffey the lovable and loyal robot daggit we'd see on screen from 1978, but this concept art for Saga of a Star World (artist unknown) certainly shows us a visual incarnation potentially designed to resemble an Alsation species, a type of dog equally as loving and very protective.
